Sound from 3.5" jack and HTC usb ??

I'm curious to know if sound will be passed to the HTC USB aswell as the 3.5" jack ?
I use the E100 adapter all the time as its nice and simple to skip a track and make/answer a call when out and about.
Dont fancy pulling out the HD to skip a track or answer a call all the time

Nobody has any idea ?

I don't the answer to your question, but the answer to your problem is bluetooth. My headphones change volume, track, play/pause and answer the phone. Music resumes after the call. This is using Motorola S805 headphones, WM6 and Mortplayer.

Sound is via jack only, but indeed Bluetooth is a great solution.

Cheers for your replies....

Doesn't the mini USB port need to support sound in order for a wired hands-free headset to work? I'd be really surprised if they a) required a bluetooth headset for hands-free or b) required two jacks (3.5mm and miniUSB) in order to use wired hands-free headset.
If the 3.5 jack has more contacts than just the normal stereo then maybe they have a wired headset that works just from the 3.5mm. It will be interesting to see how they've done it.

It is confusing to me, since the few previewers reported a dedicated audio jack and USB only for charging/data (ActiveSync). HTC in their 16/9 press release do mention the audio jack in the press release, but in the feature list it is not quoted, but there is mention of ExtUSB, but no mention of audio on it. On other HTC press releases for previous models ExtUSB is usually mentioned with audio next to it. Well I guess it is wait and see
Update: This French review in English also says audio jack also for handsfree http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiw5PsQ50Uc

Check the review on GSMArena - the headset works off the audio jack, so no need to have audio via ExtUSB...

Mmm The Earphones supplied are 4 pole, Earth, Mic, Left and Right.
So disapointed if the Ext USB doest carry sound too... Will make the whole Car mount job look untidy but worst is that you will have to take your HD out of your pocket to skip tracks when using the headset... Sorry thats just pants !!!

Re in car intergration and control, I like this gadget very much.
http://us.kensington.com/html/14484.html
LiquidAUX™ Bluetooth® Car Kit
It comes with a separate wireless remote control that you can mount anywhere in your car, and the sound outputs via 3.5mm jack, so you can connect it easily to your stereo. In addition it auto-connects very well, meaning its really plug and play. It also comes with a separate USB port for charging, meaning you can still charge your phone via USB while this occupies the cigarette lighter.
Surur

Sorry to bring this back up but are we totally sure that the mini usb doesn't carry audio? I haven't been able to get it to work on my car hands free kit but maybe i'm missing something??
If it doesn't i think HTC have misssed a trick.

I've tried with a couple of audio headsets, always says "not supported, disconnect".

[Q] Head phones with mic

Hey people. Thanks for all info, been reading about the defy here for some time. Got one now and I love it. I had a few smartphones before and this is by far the one I would stick to forever if I had to.
So, my question is: Are there any good head phones (in-ear plugs, with mic and maybe even music controlers) avaliable, and that I can be certain to be compatible with the Defy? Or could I just buy any that works fine with other Android or Motorola devices? Motorola is not sold in Sweden where I live, so it's not like I can check out any stores IRL here...
With my Xperia x20 mini, exacly what I described came along with the phone. Too bad that you just got these normal plugs with the defy. Cos there is just no way I would use those. As of now I stick to my old head phones but I'd love the mic function with my In-ear plugs.
Thanks for any help!

Ok, so I found this site:
thinkmotoroladefy.com/wiredheadsets.html
and it's all looking good, except for the part that they are a bit low-priced. I'm looking for high quality ones. I.e my current head phones was about 90 USD.

For information, iphone handsfree works fine

Thanks!
By chance, does anyone know if "Klipsch Image S4i" would work? they seams to be perfect! Volume, track fwd bwd and play...

I got one of these a few months ago, works fine with my HTC Desire. Not the best headphones in the world, but more than capable of handling a bus ride. You can unplug the headphones, clip on a small plastic hook and use it as an in-ear Bluetooth headset too. Two birds with one stone
I can get around 10 hours out of them between charges.

Thanks, it seams to be mono, right? Mono doesnt sound too thrilling...

If you use power amp you can set it up to use the controls on headphones to start and stop music, instead of calling the last number you called. It will work on the lock screen too.
This was the only way of getting it to work i found for the defy and i tried about 10 different headphones with in-line controls. Bluetooth stereo sets like the one above with controls seem to work fine for music however, ive got a sony bluetooth set and the controls worked right away on the standard media player.

Hi everybody I'm new,
Does anyone can confirm this pinout for Defy's jack 3.5mm?
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Ground
4. Sleeve - Mic
or this used in most mobiles:
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Mic
4. Sleeve - Ground

I use Razer Moray+™ they have no remote function so you have to answer the call on the phone. But you have a mic and the work good for musik and phone calls.

anyone got an update for this, still looking for ear buds with a mic.

Klipsch Pro Media set(based on the S4i but a bit better build for traveling etc).
Awesome set up with defy. The S5i rugged set is also great as they are moisture proof and very overbuilt.

Thx,
Yeah, exactly as you wrote.
I remade cheap handset with remote (from eg. www.ebay.com).
It works with any headphones

I used my original headset on a iphone before. So I assume that every headset that works on the iphone should also work on the defy.

I wonder if Sony Ericsson's headsets work. These seem pretty good:
goo.gl/TquJQ
goo.gl/eQc9W
Would be good if they work.
BTW, I tried Samsung Galaxy SL's Stereo In ear handsfree and the sound quality was just awesome! Might get myself one of those!!

I've tried the iPhone standard headphones and sound works but Mic and controls don't. There is a pair of sennheiser mm50 Nokia. Which will work fine. Ordering one shortly.

Hi
I can confirm that at least not all iphone headset work the defy, even if the pinout is identical. I tried the Sennheiser MM70i and they don't work!
I soldered the mic of the standard Headset to the MM70 and now im happy,
but definitely nothing i can recommend
greetings

[REQ] Phone Call: Route internal speaker sound to headphone jack when plugged in

Hi all,
When i'm driving, my phone is always connected to the headphone jack, so i can listen to spotify over my car's radio ^^
But when i receive a call, the phone always routes the audio output to the internal speaker, which is rather useless in this situation
Is it somehow possible to route the sound to the headphone jack, when receiving a phone call? Maybe some kind of a kernel patch?
Would make a good replacement for a hands-free kit

Yes, this is something I should implement soon in Voodoo sound.

In skype, I could make voice calls using a headphone without microphone. Skype all automatically uses the built in microphone.
Now, how do we make dialer the same?

What I do to fix this problem is to use a Nokia headset adapter since Nokia uses the same 4 pin configuration as Samsung and it works.
I don't really think this can be fixed software wise... I would be pleasantly surprised if it was

Thanks for your fast response . I would also donate for such a feature. Maybe you can pm me, when it's available.

how to add a microphone to the nc?

Can we use the earbuds with a mic?
I'm guessing no. Is there a workatound if not? Like go mono with the voice and use the other line for a mic?
Could def go for gv or skype

No hardware support, that's required to get input from the phone-style headsets with mic, the OS wouldn't know what to do with it either. The only hope is when bluetooth gets working, and we can use headset profiles.

Adding a mic (physically) is definitely possible. Waiting for someone adventurous enough to do so. I googled around and found the pin-outs for the DAC chip in the NC - TLV320DAC3100 which has a MICBIAS pin. That is where a microphone should be wired to. Now, regarding the OS knowing where to access the audio input, I have no idea. It could be already in the existing driver waiting to be unlocked. Someone who is more knowledgeable to work on this would be a great help to the NC owners.

I read back somewhere that it was possible with the new usb hosting tweak.

Don't think so...not according to the datasheet. Yes, there are two analog inputs along with a micbias source, but the analog inputs are ONLY routed to a an output mixer and are never go to an ADC . Output mixer is sourced from DAC, analog inputs, or a mix of the two. Sorry

Bluetooth microphones are a no go for now. We need to know the GPIO pin in order to use them(if it even exists). USB microphones work somewhat already with USB host in CM7.

Has there been any further progess on this?
With Gingerbread's ability to have 'internet calls' - built in softphone - this could be the KILLER application.
I can get GV Callback to dial, and actually connect a call.
SOmetimes the nook locks up, however....

USB Sound
I ordered a USB sound "device" from Amazon for Can$7.00. The Nook recognizes the sound device in USB host mode (after reboot). The only problem with the mic was that the recording and playback sample rates were different, so the playback was ultra slooooow.
I have looked in the logs and found a message that the sample rate is set on initialization, but that is as far as I got so far.
I'll take a further look and post my results if I get anywhere.

[Q] Mono output through 3.5mm headphones?

hi all
I know you can buy adapters for 3.5mm headphones to combine the left and right stereo into a combined mono output for both ear buds.
...surely, there must be some software for Android that can do this for me without an adapter? Work are happy for me to listen to music but require me to keep an ear free to hear colleague questions or calls - but with one headphone, I lose half the stereo.
Anyway of making both channels go into one - without the need for an adapter?

It seems to be a known issue. I agree that the accessibility options in Android are lacking and i hope you get this soon.

Thanks for the link mate; I trawled Google before posting this as I couldn't find an answer anywhere. Evidently, I didn't look hard enough.
I've sent an email to the creators of PowerAMP for Android; apparently their next release will have a balance feature and it'd be nice if they solved the problem with a 'mono' button too...

An option would be to use a bluetooth headset and if your phone is a2dp then download one of the mono bluetooth apps from the market to use it to stream music.
Understand you asked for the wired but not everyone is aware of the other options they may have.
